CNN Exclusive: Gates may be negotiating with Mueller’s team
Rick Gates has quietly added a white collar attorney to his defense team, signaling that his approach to his not-guilty plea could be changing behind the scenes.
Rick Gates may be negotiating a plea deal. Back in October Gates entered a not-guilty plea on charges of conspiring against the U.S., money laundering and more. He was indicted alongside his longtime business associate Paul Manafort. This new development suggests Gates may have flipped and may now be cooperating with special counsel.
